This illustrated ebook documents the 36 preserved Jewish gravestones in Stockelsdorf, including a transcription, translation and commentary of the grave inscriptions. A historical article starts off the book by shedding light on the political and economic circumstances under which Jewish families settled 200 years ago in the estates that form today’s Stockelsdorf.
